C. T. U.For a numbei of years the NationalWomen's Christian Temperance Unionhas been carrying on a work that hasreceived as wab very fitting, the support of the lumbermen. In Minnesotathe work ha? foi number of yearsbeen in charge of Mrs Effie A. Burganof ^Rrjypceton During the past fourwmter? she has been pi-evented 'by-illhealth fiom making personal visits tothe camps, but she has in no other wayallowed her work to suffer Duringthe past winter ninety-three camps inthe Minnesota woods were kept supplied with good reading matter Lumbermen and others have responded toher requests for aid. Contributionsboth in money and reading matterhave been freely given. That herlabors have been appreciated is indicated by the large number of testimonials received from loggers andcamp foremen. One incident illustrates the more than passive interestthat has been the result of this work.A Sunday school class of fourteenvoung men went into as many differentcamps for the winter. Their teacherfinding it a hard task to secure readingmatter for them, applied to Mrs. Burgan She wrote to a number of unionsand fourteen barrels of good literaturewas soon on its way to those camps.This winter the work is to be prosecuted with new vigor Mrs. Burganhas so far regained her health andstrength as to again engage in activelabor and has planned to visit many ofthe camps She will thus be able todirect the work more intelligently.In this she should be aided by everyone who is interested in maintaining ahigh plane of intelligence and moralityamong the loggers. Contributions ofmagazines and other choice readingwill be gratefully received, and by herand others, under her direction, willbe judiciously distributed where theywill do the most good. Lumbermenthroughout the State can further aidin the good work by forwarfling to herthe names and addresses of camp foremen and thus aid in widening the circle until man.) camps in the State shallshow the influence of the efforts in behalf of higher morals and greater intelligence.Lumberman,MR.
